Elixer Salon (Berkeley, CA)

Re: Wonderful hair dresser for curly hair
I get my curly hair cut by Shannon at Elixir Salon, on Hopkins St. in
Berkeley (510) 526-1700 - she's great! She really listens and pays
attention to what it is you're trying to accomplish. She also cuts your
hair while it's dry, so she can see and evaluate how your specific curls
behave (or misbehave). Typically, I've paid $75, but additionally, if
the next day I've ever wanted a bit more done or was not yet completely
satisfied, she always goes the extra mile without charging an additional
fee. Two thumbs up!! Best of luck to you and your curls...

Re: The cut is good but she can't do color
I went through a similar situation-I had someone who cut my
hair for years, and then last 3 haircuts were no good-i tried a
few new people and found one I really like. Her name is Marija
at Elixir on Hopkins in Berkeley-I have curly hair and she is
great. For color, I see someone else, and no one seems to mind.
So I wouldn't worry about it, I think hairsylists are used to
people coming and going, and it's fine to have different people
for cut and color.

Re: In Need of a new hairstyle
Your post did not specify a location. If Berkeley is doable for
you, I highly recommend Alexandra Gibbs, owner of Elixir Salon
and Spa (1599 Hopkins Street, Berkeley 510-526-1700). I have
been a client of hers for over 10 years and trust her
completely for both cuts and color. She has created many
different looks for me over the years. I have even had
strangers come up to me on the street asking me who does my
hair!

Re: Hairstylist for Super-Thick Wavey Hair
My hair is also thick and curly-I recently had a haircut at
Elixir on Hopkins by Mareya-she thinned it wonderfully, and it
was a great haircut. She really knows what she is doing. I think
her price is $60 now.

Re: Hairstylist near Solano
depending where on Solano Ave. you are coming from, you could
probably walk to see Shannon at Elixir located across from
Monterey Market- she's a talented hair artist and her own hair
is also long, wavy, trendy and gorgeous!

Re: Hair stylist for cut and color (July 2003)
Ona Rose at Elixer salon across from the shops on Montery Ave.
in North Berkeley (526-1700) is a lovely person and a superb
hair cutter, careful and artistic. I enjoy her tremendously and
always leave her chair looking elegant and feeling pampered. I
can't recommend her highly enough.
Re: stylist who does a great job cutting short hair (May 2003)
